Article 6. Cooperative Salary Agreements of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 6.

For the purpose of this article the base salary of a commissioner is the salary, or if a salary range is established, the lowest step in such range, which was established for the position for the month of January, 1959.

For the purpose of securing more uniform and adequate enforcement of this code throughout the state, the director may enter into cooperative agreements with the board of supervisors of any county which relate to the compensation of the county agricultural commissioner of the county, or which relate to compensation of the county for services which are performed for the department.

In the agreement the board of supervisors shall agree not to reduce the salary of the commissioner to less than the base salary. The director may agree to pay to the county a sum not to exceed six thousand six hundred dollars ($6,600) per year to be used for the salary of the commissioner, or to compensate the county for services which are performed for the department. The amount which is paid to a county shall not, however, exceed two-thirds of the amount of the salary which is paid to its commissioner.

The director may agree with the board of supervisors of any county in which no salary was established for the position of commissioner for January, 1959, that the state will pay not to exceed six thousand six hundred dollars ($6,600) per year of the amount to be used for payment of the salary of a commissioner for such county, or of a commissioner who is employed pursuant to Section 2124. The amount which is paid the county shall not, however, exceed two-thirds of the amount of the salary which is paid to the commissioner.
